What problem does it solve? Weekly literature-gathering runs produce raw inbox notes full of hits with mechanically assigned stream tags, and someone must decide which papers are worth deeper evaluation. This Skill performs that human-in-the-loop triage pass: it clusters near-duplicates, drops noise, and shortlists candidates for viability assessment without prematurely scoring them. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Inbox triage: Reads the newest untriaged vault/00-Meta/Discovery/_inbox/YYYY-Www.md note, judges every hit keep/drop, and appends a ## Triage table with one-line reasons. - Backlog promotion: Writes PROMOTE candidates into vault/00-Meta/Discovery/_backlog.md as state: triaged entries, reverse-chronological, carrying the source week and relevance note. - Guardrails: Distrusts mechanical stream tags, forbids viability scoring (reserved for /assay), and treats the ## Triage section as the completion marker even when zero hits survive. - Use Case: After Scout drops 2026-W25.md with 14 arXiv hits, run this Skill to merge duplicates, drop gate false-positives, and promote two persistence-diagram papers into the backlog for the next /assay pass. ## Quick Start Triage the latest untriaged weekly inbox note in vault/00-Meta/Discovery/_inbox and write the results into its Triage section and the discovery backlog.
